Scholarship Type: Paid Tuition & Bursary Studentship
Supervisors:
Dr. Hrushikesh Abhyankar Research Fellow Lightweight Structures
Dr. James Brighton – Head of Centre for Automotive Technologies
Eligibility: UK, EU International
Duration of award: 3 years
Application Deadline: 31st May 2015
Start Date: ASAP Ref: CRAN1059
Sponsor and Coverage:
Sponsored by Future Sky (EU), this studentship will provide a bursary of up to £16,000 - £ 19,000 p.a. (tax free) plus fees* for three years
Project name :
Developing a simulation methodology for tyre interaction with a contaminated runway that includes the dynamics of both tyre and liquids.
This project related to:
Advanced Composites, Rubber and Tyre Mechanics
The project:
The project is involve in testing, characterization and analysis of Tyre and ground, models that can be used for simulation of aircraft operations during ground roll under crosswind conditions. The main focus of the study (PhD topic) will be to develop a simulation methodology for tyre interaction with a contaminated runway that includes the dynamics of both tyre and liquids. This will involve developing models based on both empirical data developed from experiments and modelling (FEA). The study is part of a project sponsored by the European Union and Future Sky.
What the candidate will do: The candidate will participate in a fully-funded PhD program at the Centre of Automotive Technology (CAT) at Cranfield University, UK. The PhD will give the candidate a unique hands-on Project which will include testing and analysis of rubber and tyre models and its interactions with various ground conditions. the main duty of the candidate is to develop simulation models using LS DYNA (FEA + ALE). This experience will enable student to broaden and deepen your core engineering skills and explore those research areas that interest you most.
What you’ll get out of it: CAT has exceptional industrial links, with many projects offered by industrial partners. The centre is also involved in many EU and UK funded projects. Exposure to these projects will provide the candidate with valuable knowledge and insight into the world of Transport Systems. CAT is also involved in MSc Motorsports Engineering course.
On completion of the programme you will leave with far more than just a PhD qualification; you will have the skills, knowledge and acumen to become the future technical leader in advanced tyre mechanics and modelling, be it in academia or industry.
More about CAT: The Centre for Automotive Technology focuses on research, development, education and training through short course provision in relation to vehicles including motorcars, sports utility vehicles (SUVs), motorcycles, competition cars, racing motorcycles, low carbon vehicles (LCVs), agricultural machinery, industrial machinery, military vehicles, space vehicles, marine vessels, air and landing craft.
Entry requirements:
Applicants should have a first or second class UK honors degree or equivalent in a related discipline, such as mathematics, or engineering. The ideal candidate should have solid background to understand in the area of simulation, numerical modelling and industrial service delivery. The candidate should be self-motivated, have good communication skills for regular interaction with other stakeholders, with an interest for industrial research.
